Triple-Dipped Fried Chicken

Introduction:

Triple-Dipped Fried Chicken is known for its extra crispy and flavorful coating. The process of dipping the chicken in seasoned flour, a rich beer batter, and flour again ensures a crunchy exterior while keeping the inside juicy. Whether served hot or cold, it’s perfect for family dinners, picnics, or any gathering.

Ingredients:

For the Seasoned Flour Mixture:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon garlic salt
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt

For the Beer Batter:

• 1 cup beer
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Chicken:

• 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces (or 8 pieces of bone-in chicken)

For Frying:

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Seasoned Flour Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic salt, black pepper, paprika, poultry seasoning, and salt.
2. Make the Beer Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the beer, flour, egg yolks, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
3. Coat the Chicken:
   • Moisten the chicken pieces with a bit of water.
   • Dip each chicken piece into the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
   • Next, dip the floured chicken into the beer batter.
   • Finally, dip it again in the seasoned flour to create the triple-dipped coating.
4. Fry the Chicken:
   • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C).
   • Fry the chicken pieces in batches until crispy, golden brown, and fully cooked through (about 10 minutes for smaller pieces and 12-15 minutes for larger pieces).
   • Drain the chicken on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Triple-Dipped Fried Chicken delivers a crispy, golden-brown exterior with a juicy interior. The triple coating of seasoned flour and beer batter guarantees an irresistible crunch.
